Whom the city gave the world
Voices, minds and champions of world stature came out of Baku's courtyards. They are united not by profession but by that Bakuvian leaven — warmth, persistence and a love of life.
Great Bakuvians are not only names in encyclopaedias but proof that a cosmopolitan city knows how to raise talent. And beside them are millions of ordinary Bakuvians on whom everything rests.
People
Baku gave the world opera and pop stars, great musicians, Nobel scholars and champions. Many of them proudly called themselves Bakuvians all their lives, wherever they lived.
What unites them is a common beginning — the yard, the school, the boulevard and that very air of the city in which a hundred cultures mixed.
Names
People
Behind the famous names are millions who never made the encyclopaedias but are the real city: neighbours, teachers, craftsmen, sellers, tea-house keepers. It is they who keep the character and pass it on.
Bakuvians are scattered across the world today, but the city still gathers them together — through memory, language and that very warm "da?".
The list of great Bakuvians here is only illustrative and far from complete — the city gave the world many more names.
